Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed May 17,1907. Serial No. 37 L218.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JENNIE MoGILL, a subject of the King of GreatBritain, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain .new and useful Improvements in CookingUtensils; and

I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same.

My invention has relation to new and useful improvements in cookingutensils and it consists in the improved construction and arrangement ofparts hereinafter described and set forth, whereby an articleis providedwith a base frame, a plurality of cooking receptacles, a steamer adaptedto it over one of said receptacles, and a hollow cylinder adapted toinclose or sur- In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspectiveview of my improved cooking utensil, the covers of two of the cookingreceptacles and the inclosing cylinder removed; Fig. 2 is a centralcross sectional view of my invention; and Fig. 3 is a perspective viewof the supporting base frame and handle.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the nuin oral 1 representsthe'supporting base frame of my improved cooking utensil which comprisesan annular body 2 of suitable width and thickness, provided on its innerface at a suitable point between its edges with a horizontal annularledge or flange 3. Extending from the inner edge of said horizontalannular ledge or flange 3 at their outer ends and terminating in acentral enlarged portion 4 at their inner or opposite ends are three ormore horizontal radial arms or members 5, having secured to or formed ontheir upper faces longitudinal flanges 6, which divide said supportingbase frame 1 into a number of parts corresponding with the number ofsaid arms or members 5. The numeral 7 represents a plurality oftriangular cooking receptacles which are arranged on said frame betweenthe longitudinal flanges (i of said horizontal radial arms or members 5and are provided with suitable handles 8, by means of which they may beplaced in or removed from position. A triangular steamer 9, having aperforated bottom 10, a suitable cover 11, and suitable handles 12, isadapted to fit over one of said triangular cooking receptacles 7. Thenumeral 13 represents an upright stem, which is secured at its lower endin any suitable substantial manner to said central enlarged portion 4,and is provided at its upper or opposite end with a suitable handle 14,by means of which the supporting base frame 1 may be moved from place toplace. The numeral 15 represents a hollow inclosing cylinder, which isadapted to surround or inclose all of said mentioned parts, and servesto confine the heat when the utensil is in use.

My improved cooking utensil is of such novel construction that it maybeused to boil and steam food at the same time. Should it be founddesirous said steamer 9 may be removed from position, and all of thecooking receptacles used for boiling purposes, in which case they aresupplied with suitable covers 16, (see Fig. 2.)

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the drawings,the construction and operation of my invention will be understoodwithout a more expanded explanation.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent is 1. In a cooking utensil, a supporting base l'ramecomprising a body having a horizontal ledge on its inner face and :1plurality of radial arms extending from the inner er go of said ledgeand having their inner ends united, an upright stem attached at itslower end to the meeting ends of the arms and provided at its upper endwith a handle portion, a plurality of cooking receptacles correspendingin number with the number of said arms and arranged on the frame, asteamer fitting over one of said receptacles, and a hollow inclosingcylinder adapted to inclose said mentioned parts.

2. In :1 cooking utensil, the combination of a supporting base framecomprising an annular body having a horizontal ledge on its inner faceand three horizontal radial arms extending from the inner edge of itshorizontal ledge at their outer ends and terminating at their oppositeends in a central enlarged portion, an upright stem secured at its lowerend to the center of said supporting base frame and terminating at itsopposite end in a handle, a plurality of cooking receptaclescorresponding in number with the number of horizontal radial arms ofsaid bilS frame, arranged on said frame. a steamer fitting over one ofsaid cooking receptacles, and a hollow inclosing cylinder in closingsaid mentioned parts.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing witnesses.
